The length of the mud caves varies, with some extending over 1000 feet and
featuring ceilings as high as 80 feet. Caves have been reported up to 35 feet
wide, and others so narrow, you have to squeeze through openings. Multi-level
caves with skylights have been found, where erosion has created an opening, or
sinkhole, in the ceiling of the cave. Some of the caves are fairly easy to navigate
while others may require you to crawl in sections.
Desert
Bighorn Sheep at Play in Anza Borrego
Bighorn Sheep live in dry, desert mountain ranges and foothills,
near rocky cliffs, in an environment that is almost waterless and relatively
barren of vegetation. Watch a Desert Bighorn grazing on grasses on a rocky hillside,
then gamboling up the hill to meet up with another Bighorn. Great shots of this
beautiful animal against the skies of Anza Borrego.

Saguaros often begin life in the shelter of a "nurse" tree or shrub
which provides a shaded, moister habitat. The largest plants are estimated to
be 200 years old and can reach heights of 15 to 50 feet.

through which energy, derived from the sun, flows in the form of organic matter
